A mother and her four children have died after a device exploded in their village in Ethiopia’s Somali region, local residents have told me.

One of the children found the device outside Dagahmadow village, and was playing with it when it detonated, they added.

The exact nature of the device is unclear, but it was believed to have been abandoned by fighters during the 1970s conflict between Ethiopia and neighbouring Somalia.
